Description: Tollefsen investigates the image-doctrine of St Theodore the Studite with particular attention to his three refutations of the iconoclasts, the Antirrhetici tres adversus iconomachos.

Review Quotes: "The book thus represents a very useful contribution to the developing scholarly appreciation of the extent and richness of Byzantine philosophical culture and thinking. Tollefsen also sheds a good deal of light on some of the key aspects of Theodore's own thinking, notably in respect of Christology and image theory." -- Marcus Plested, Journal of Ecclesiastical History

"I am pleased to add this volume to my library in the certain knowledge that I will refer to it in future, because its thoughtful analysis and restrained conclusions challenge without offense even when his method raises questions." -- Scott Ables, Reading Religion
